- | A: I think that's a great approach - instead of the caption linking to the credit text at the back of the book, just use that credit text as the caption itself (using Insert Caption). We can prefix the caption with **Credit:** [insert credit text]. Then we can remove the Credits section as you suggested. | + | [[public:nnels:etext: |
